As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs traded steady to 2.00 higher, and heifers over 600 lbs were not well represented. A light test of slaughter cattle traded 1.00 to 3.00 lower than last week. Supply and demand for all classes of cattle was moderate to light today.
